Home Sweet Home

God has brought us many miles since we last updated our blog. Our trip to the Chilcotin was relaxing and uneventful. We were blessed to spend time with wonderful people along the way who spoiled our family and sent us on our way encouraged for the new chapter in our lives. Much of this time was spent in various places in the very diverse state of Oregon. We stayed with friends in the south eastern, high dessert country (Frenchglen), made a quick stop near Salem to see a college student at Corbin College, spent time at InterAct’s home office (see picture at right) near Portland, and also went to the “beach” to fellowship with a supporting church (Pacific City). We then headed north through Washington, spending our last night in the States near the border. Wednesday the 26^th we entered Canada, receiving our Visitor’s Record without any problems (thanks again for your prayers) and finally arrived in British Columbia. That evening we traveled as far as Cache Creek, spent a night letting it all sink in. The next morning we enjoyed breakfast with some fellow InterAct missionaries and then started the last leg of our journey. We arrived in Chilanko Forks around 4:30 pm (on Thursday) and were welcomed by our team with a celebration dinner (turkey with all the trimmings). It is so exciting to have finally arrived! We are so fortunate to be able to stay with our fellow team members as we get settled into our new home. The last few days we have spent most of our days unpacking our trailer and our boxes, things have gone very smooth thanks to the wonderful help of our team. Our place is starting to look and feel like home. We definitely didn’t arrive too soon, yesterday we awoke to snow. We are so very thankful to have the wood cutting team from Michigan arrive this Friday as winter seems to be just around the corner. This morning we had fellowship with other believers, and tomorrow we plan to go to town to take care of errands (get a drivers license, groceries, and open a checking account). God has blessed us in so many ways, we are so thankful for all the pieces that have come together and allowed us to be here. May God be glorified in all we do, and may He accomplish great things for His name. Our love to all of you,
